WASHBOILER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 593,27 5, dated November 9, 1897.

Application filed April 5, 1897 Serial No. 630,673- (No model.)

To Me? whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DORILA MARCIL, a citizen of the Dominion ofv Canada, residing at Terrebonne, in the county of Polk and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in YVashboilers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to washboilers; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section through the boiler. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the clothes-support.

A is the boiler, which is of any approved form. In order to prevent the clothes from burning, more especially when the water boils away, a support 13 is provided. This support consists of a convex and perforated plate provided with feet I) on its under side for holding it a short distance above the bottom a of the boiler.

C are guard-plates, each provided with a series of loops 0 and pivoted at their lower ends to the staples c on the plate 13. The upper parts of the plates C are provided with rings cl, which engage with projections 01' on the end portions of the boiler. The guardplates keep the clothes from touching the ends of the boiler, and they also afford a means for lifting the clothes-support out of the boiler. The loops 0 are upwardly and inwardly inclined, so that they hold the clothes at some distance from the end portions of the boiler and do not hinder the clothes from being raised out of the boiler. When the support B is partially raised out of the boiler, the loops can be dropped into engagement with the upper edge of the boiler, so that the water drains out of the clothes. The upper clothes are then lifted out, and the support B is raised step by step and supported by the successive loops.

What I claim is-- The combination, with a clothes-boiler, of a perforated support provided with staples c projecting from its upper surface, plates 0 hinged to the said staples and provided with series of loops 0 for engaging with the edge of the boiler and supporting the said support at various levels, projections d secured to the boiler, and rings pivoted to the ends of the plates 0 and engaging with the projections d, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
